In this contribution, we study health status of Italian aging population using an evaluation method based on the theory of partially ordered set. The method allows to create synthetic measures out of a set of ordinal indicators without the need for aggregation. After preliminary definitions, we calculate two indices to evaluate physical and mental health, and by means of regression trees we analyse the role that simple indicators play in discriminating health profiles.

Abstract
In this contribution, we study health status of Italian aging population using an evaluation method based on the theory of partially ordered set. The method allows to create synthetic measures out of a set of ordinal indicators without the need for aggregation. After preliminary definitions, we calculate two indices to evaluate physical and mental health, and by means of regression trees we analyse the role that simple indicators play in discriminating health profiles.File in questo prodotto:
